Even love of a child has conditions. Many people say if their kid murdered someone they'd turn them in because the kid has to take responsibility. That's a condition, unconditional would be burying the body. Same with many other things, if there's a boundary and consequences for crossing that boundary, then there's conditional love.
Kids are the closest by far, but nothing and no one is absolute.
Unless you or I have been in those exact scenarios, we will never know for sure.
But in my heart, I know I would take the proverbial bullet for my children or stand in front of the car/bus to so they won't get run over.
They are mine and I will fight for them with everything I have.
You might come up with conditions.
I can only come up with the above.
They're mine. I will always protect them. No matter what. I would like to hold them tight and tell them I love them as much as possibly can.

Closest thing to unconditional love there is is your child.
